The new Kia Rio has been awarded the maximum five stars for accident safety by Euro NCAP.
The redesigned Rio hatchback achieved high scores for Adult Occupant Protection (92 percent), Child Occupant Protection (84 percent) and Safety Assist Equipment (86 percent), and Kia also received praise from the testers for fitment of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) as standard in all European markets.
“Kia was the first Korean manufacturer to achieve EuroNCAP’s top score with cee’d in 2007*, and this latest result is further proof of Kia’s ongoing commitment to vehicle safety,” comments Benny Oeyen, Vice President Marketing and Product Planning, Kia Motors Europe.
“From the very start of Rio’s development, Kia’s engineers were dedicated to creating a car that would offer owners a fun driving experience, as well as the reassurance that they and their families would be protected by the very best safety technology in the event of an accident
